Definitions
- An EAS system typically includes markers, such as magnetic markers, which are attached to the books or other articles to be protected.
- the system also includes detection equipment, usually located near an exit, which causes an alarm to sound when an active marker passes through a detection zone.
- detection equipment usually located near an exit, which causes an alarm to sound when an active marker passes through a detection zone.
- the markers are generally supplied as individual markers which are manually inserted into the books. When properly placed, the markers are difficult to visually detect, difficult to remove, and do not detract from the readers ability to use and enjoy the book.
- manual installation of individual markers into library collections numbering in the tens of hundreds of thousands is a laborious, expensive and time consuming process.
- An electronic article surveillance marker assembly includes a plurality of markers on a release liner.
- the marker assembly includes a first adhesive layer on a first side of the markers, a second adhesive layer on a second side of the markers and a differential release liner having an easy release side and a tight release side, positioned such that the tight release side is in contact with the second adhesive layer.
- the marker assembly includes an adhesive layer on only one side of the markers, for example, the second side.
- a length of the marker assembly can be formed into a roll, or the marker assembly can be cut into sheets and placed on top of each other to form a stack of sheets.
- FIG. 1 shows an EAS marker in place in a book
- FIGS. 2A and 2B show an end view and a side view, respectively, of a single layer of the preferred EAS marker assembly and FIG. 2C shows a side view of an alternative embodiment
- FIG. 3A shows a roll embodiment of the EAS marker assembly
- FIG. 3B shows a stack embodiment of the EAS roll assembly
- FIG. 4 shows a block diagram of the process of manufacturing the EAS marker assembly.
- the present application is directed at a packaging and delivery method for large numbers of individual ferromagnetic EAS markers for use with an automated or semiautomated system which inserts the markers into books.
- Two exemplary automated insertion systems are described in the copending and commonly assigned U.S. patent applications entitled “APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY INSERTING MARKERS INTO BOOKS” and “APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR INSERTING MARKERS INTO BOOKS”, filed on even date herewith, assigned to the same assignee as the present invention and incorporated herein by reference.
- FIG. 1 shows a marker 20 in a typical placement in a book.
- the marker 20 is normally positioned in the center channel 12 formed by the pages 14 and 16 when the book 10 is opened.
- the marker has adhesive on both sides, as described below, that contact the consecutive pages 14 and 16. In this way, the marker becomes attached between the consecutive pages in an inconspicuous way without significant disruption of the shape or use of the book.
- the marker can be attached inside of the cover in the binding 18 of the book 10.
- FIGS. 2A and 2B show an end view and a side view of a preferred EAS marker assembly.
- the marker assembly includes a plurality of marker strips 20 FIG. 2B) carried on a differential release liner 60.
- Each marker 20 is preferably a dual status ferromagnetic marker having a plurality of high coercive force remanently magnetizable elements 22 positioned adjacent to a narrow, elongated, low coercive force, high permeability strip of magnetic material 24, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,765,007, assigned to the same assignee as the present invention and incorporated herein by reference.
- the strip 24 acts as a signal producing element and has the ability to rapidly switch magnetic orientation when passed through an alternating magnetic field produced in an interrogation zone of an EAS system.
- the magnetizable elements 22 act as a signal blocking element to control the switching action of the strip 24.
- the elements 22 are magnetized, the ability of strip 24 to switch back and forth within the alternating magnetic field is inhibited.
- the marker is "off” and will not result in production of an alarm when passed through the interrogation zone.
- the elements 22 are demagnetized, the marker is "on” and the switching action of the strip 24 can take place, resulting in production of an alarm when the marker is passed through the interrogation zone.
- an elongated paper element 30 is attached by an adhesive layer 32 to the magnetizable elements such that the plurality of elements 22 are interposed between the paper element 30 and elongated strip 24, and are in that manner fixedly held in place.
- an adhesive layer 28 is located on the top side of the paper element 50.
- Another adhesive layer 38 is located on the bottom side of the strip 24.
- the marker has adhesive on both sides. The top and bottom adhesive layers 28 and 38 allow for attachment of the marker 20 between pages of a book as shown and described with respect to FIG. 1.
- the markers 20 include adhesive on only one side. Such a marker may be desirable when the marker is placed in the binding of a book rather than between the pages.
- a liner 60 is used as a carrier for the markers.
- the continuous liner 60 is preferably a differential release liner and comprises a liner sheet 83, tight release side 84 and easy release side 82.
- the differential release liner allows a large number of markers 20 to be preferably provided in the marker roll assembly 50 or the marker stack assembly 80 as shown and described below with respect to FIGS. 3A and 3B.
- the differential release liner 60 is preferably a polyester film, coated on the back side with easy release silicon 82, and coated on the front side with tight release silicon 84.
- Each marker is preferably made of a strip of Permalloy foil 24, six strips ARNOKROM 3 foil 22, paper element 30 with adhesive layer 32, and the top and bottom adhesive layers 28 and 38.
- the sheet 85 of markers is cut to form a plurality of individual marker strips 20, as can be seen in the side view of FIG. 2B.
- the roll assembly 50 shown in FIG. 3A includes plurality of markers 66 carried by a differential release liner 60, a leader section 70 and a tail section (not shown).
- the roll can be wound around a core 72, if desired.
- the leader section 70 aids feeding of the roll into an automated insertion system, and is preferably free of markers to eliminate waste of markers at the beginning of a roll.
- the trailer section, attached to the differential release liner 60 at the end of the roll, is also preferably free of markers to eliminating waste of markers at the end of a roll.
- the leader and tail sections can be attached by any appropriate mechanism, such as 3M brand number 8402 or 8403 splicing tape.
- the leader section 70 includes an intelligent information section 76 readable by the automated insertion system.
- the intelligent information section could include information such as identification of the particular type of markers on the roll, setup information for the automated insertion system, the number of markers in the roll, authentication of the roll, etc.
- a BAR code such as that shown in FIG. 3A, could be used as the intelligent information section 76.
- the BAR code information could be optically read and processed with a standard CCD image capture device digital data processing system and used for automated control of the machine.
- Another system could utilize a passive chip attached to the leader that could be read by an electronic scanner and digital data processing system.
- the stack assembly 80 shown in FIG. 3B includes a plurality of sheets of markers 20 carried on release liner 60, stacked on top of one another.
- the resulting stack 80 is thus comprised of differential release liner 60 and marker layers 20.
- Each sheet in the preferred stack assembly 80 has multiple markers positioned such that the long axis of the markers are parallel to each other across the width of the sheet.
- the easy release side 82 of the liner 60 contacts the adhesive layer 28, and the tight release side 84 of the liner 60 contacts the adhesive layer 38.
- the differential release liner 60 allows the sheets of markers to be stacked to form a compact package without requiring two liners, one on each side of the marker.
- the easy release side 82 of the differential release liner 60 detaches from the adhesive layer 28, while the tight release side 84 remains attached to the adhesive layer 38.
- a sheet of marker strips on top of a release liner 60 is presented.
- the differential release allows sheets to be removed from the stack while retaining the marker strips in position on tight release side 38 for automated pick-up and individual release of the strips.
- the tight relase side 84 has a typical release value of about 60 grams/force per 2.54 cm (1 inch) width, and the easy release side 82 has a typical release value of about 10 grams/force per 2.54 cm (1 inch) width.
- the tight relase side 84 could have a release value ranging from about 50 grams/force per 2.54 cm (1 inch) width to about 175 grams/force per 2.54 cm (1 inch) width.
- the easy relase side 82 preferably has some value of adherence to help prevent undesired unrolling of the roll assembly, and to help keep the stack assembly from separating into individaul marker sheets.
- the easy release side 82 could have a release value ranging from 0 grams/force per 2.54 cm (1 inch) width (no adherance) to about 60 grams/force per 2.54 cm (1 inch) width.
- the values for the easy release side 82 and the tight release side 84 should be chosen such that when the roll assembly is unrolled or when a marker sheet is removed from the stack, the easy release side 82 of the differential release liner 60 detaches from the adhesive layer 28, while the tight release side 84 remains attached to the adhesive layer 38, thus resulting in the layer of markers attached on the tight release side 84 of the differential release liner 60.
- the marker sheets are fabricated such that the component layers are positioned to provide material handling zones 120 and 122 for controlling unwind or positioning of the roll or stack assembly, and adhesive free zones 124 and 126 useful for, for example, handling of the markers by an automated insertion system.
- the material handling zones 120 and 122 cooperate with a drive mechanism in an automated insertion system for steering, unwinding and advancement of the roll assembly or the stack assembly through an automated insertion system.
- the adhesive free zones 124 and 126 provide for the handling of individual markers by gripping mechanisms in the automated insertion system. This design helps to prevent machine malfunction due to handling materials buildup, such as waste liner, or deposit and buildup of adhesive on the working parts of an automated insertion system.
- FIG. 4 illustrates the continuous process for manufacturing of the preferred marker assemblies.
- Paper element 30 with adhesive layer 32, ARNOKROM 3 strips 22, PERMALLOY foil 24 and bottom adhesive layer 38 are feed into a laminator 170.
- the differential release liner sheet is introduced at 174 and is attached to the bottom adhesive layer 38.
- the release liner preferably has a width having an average error of zero from the desired width. This ensures that the liner can be properly fed through the continuous process without causing the processing equipment to jam or otherwise malfunction.
- the laminated composite and the top adhesive layer 28 are then fed into a second laminator 176.
- a temporary liner of high density polyethylene film is attached to the top adhesive layer 28 and the material is gathered into a jumbo roll 178 for subsequent conversion.
- Individual markers are preferably formed from the composite marker layers by die cutting.
- the die cutting station 184 is preferably set up to cut through the marker portion of the composite forming 0.32 mm (1/8 inch) wide strips in a precise cross web direction.
- the die cutting station preferably cuts the length of marker material such that the average error from the perpendicular is zero. This ensures that over several makers, the markers are located in a precise cross web direction. This ensures that the markers are "straight" on the release liner and that the length of marker material will always be properly lined up in the automatic insertion machine.
- the die cut preferably extends at least 0.015 mm (0.6 mils) down into the release liner 60.
- the release liner 60 not be cut all the way through and that the markers are maintained as a plurality of marker strips on a release liner.
- the jumbo rolls 188 are cut to finished roll size at 190 and the leaders 70 and trailers 72, if desired, are attached at 192. The resulting lengths of material are then wound at 194 to complete the finished marker rolls 50.
